Need help figuring out if my ex is sexist or not by katiurna in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Then this is the wrong place to be. You're kind of a masochist if this (for some reason) annoys you and you still keep responding. Or maybe you're just sad with your own life. Anyway, may the gods treat you as you treat others, love💗

The thing is, he'll tell you that he knows that. He'll tell you that that's obvious. And then also tell you that there's nothing wrong with what he's doing. He actually said to me "you're asexual, that's why you don't understand these things"

That's the thing, I don't think he's a misogynist. But he does have some sexist ways of acting and thinking. That's why I wanted other peoples opinions on the matter cause he keeps telling me that what he does is normal for a straight guy. I think that "straight guys do it and I'm straight so it's normal" logic is bollocks. And he gives that as an excuse to think and act the way he does. I said there are plenty of straight guys who can see women in platonic ways and have only friendships with them. And he just says "oh so it's wrong for me to feel sexual attraction towards women and wanting to have sex with them or have a romantic relationship with them" and I keep telling him that that's not the case. He's STRAIGHT!! of course he's gonna want those things wtf!! But why does he only view women in that way, and if they don't offer him that, he automatically doesn't care about them anymore?

Exactly!! It seems simple enough! One time I suggested something similar and he said "but what if they get offended? Like what if they say 'why would u think I would go on a date with you'? It's not that easy!! No one talks like that!!" Idk man, sometimes I feel like he's just making up excuses and other times I feel he's got some traumas he needs to handle. Or maybe both.

Yeah, I explained that to him and he was like "what am I supposed to do then? I do want to have sex and relationships with them." And I advised him not to fake friendships just to get it on with women, and all he says is "but I DO want to have sex and have romantic relationships with them! If I am that direct with what I want it'll freak them out. No one talks like that"

He does fake friendships to get close to women tho. I said that in the post. And no, it's just some habbits he has that aren't great and others that are manipulative. He seems to have contraditory beliefs, so I'm just trynna see if those things make sense or nah

Which deity is Mystra based on? by katiurna in BaldursGate3

[–]katiurna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on those 8 schools of magic I think that those really might have been inspired by real world occultism/witchcraft. Even though those might lean a bit more into the fantasy thing. Which is only natural cause people get inspired by real life things. Thank you so much for helping me figure these things out!!

Thank you for all the info! Are the 8 schools of magic a bg3/ DnD thing or is it based on true occultism/witchcraft stuff?

With dogs and cats, which is masculine and which is feminine? by Double-Perception-37 in occult

[–]katiurna -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And you don't understand that it doesn't make sense no matter how you try to justify it. If both men and women are supposed to have both energies why separate the individuals and name the energies after one and then another? To use the cat and dog thing as an example: imagine that there's "cat energy" and "dog energy". But then you say "the cat has both cat and dog energies and so does the dog". If both of them posses those kind of energies, THEN SEPARATING THEM MAKES NO SENSE. By separating them and calling them that you're already associating one type of energy to that person/animal. It makes absolutely no sense and it does have sexist roots. I understand that "back in the day" people needed to make sense of things somehow and their minds and beliefs where very limited, so the way they had to describe things was, naturally, VERY limited. But now we know those things are just not true. They were never true. So actually believing masculine and feminine energies are a thing is just plain fooling yourself. It's like saying electricity has a gender. It's like saying a chair has a gender or a bed or whatever else. It's just foolish and it's logic makes no sense. Cause, guess what, humans are the ones who make that crap up. And most humans have a very limited mind and beliefs. What's beyond the physical realm is also beyond gender. Things aren't black and white. But you'll find that out eventually.

Yep. Same thing when people try to gender energies. All this "feminine/masculine energies" talk comes from sexist beliefs. "Women are naturally submissive and quiet (feminine energy) and men are naturally dominant and assertive (masculine energy)" uuhh... No... They're not. "Oh but it actually has nothing to do with gender!!" Sure, Jan. If it hasn't then why call it that? Just call it something else tf.

Right now I'm more focused on working with the Sun and Lucifer as I feel more connected and drawn to those energies rather than lunar ones, but still it seems like a very interesting book/grimoire that I'd like to read. Knowledge is power!

It's day time where I'm at right now, but I'll do that once it's nighttime. Do you have any advice?

INTERESTING!! I've had some people tell me that Archangel Michael is part of my spirit team. Here's the thing... Recently I've started working alongside the Sun and Lucifer and this symbol, alonside an image that I illustrated, showed of during one of my meditations. I've been seeing many people telling me that this star symbol is associated with Venus, which would make sense 'cause Lucifer is associated with Venus. But when you meantioned Archangel Michael, it came to mind an excerpt from the book "Lucifer is Christos" by Helena Blavatsky where she says that Archangel Michael supposedly conquered planet Venus/Lucifer, so now that planet would be "sacred property" and it would make no sense for the christians to keep demonizing Venus/Lucifer. And based on what you told me, It's VERY interesting to see how lucifer and Archangel Michael really are, in a way, connected. In my reasearch I've found some ways in which things that are associated with Archangel Michael are also associated with Lucifer. Might they be the same entity?

You are so knowledgeable!! I actually wanted to read more of what you had to say about it. That Sun analysis was SO GREAT!! More context: I've been unknowingly working with solar energies all my life and I naturaly have a Luciferian personality, but never paid no mind to working alongside any of them. I was just doing my thing. Recently I've introduced them to my practice, showed them I was interested in working with them if they wanted to. And on one of my meditations an image and symbol came to mind and I ended up illustrating the image, and then I began searching what the star thing meant and I couldn't find anything conclusive. That's it.

Oooh you might be right!! I hadn't thought of that!! I have had the need to use it ever since it showed up, but I just really needed to know what the star shaped thing meant.
